SAFETY 7. PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
TRAVELING ON SLOPES
To prevent the machine from tipping over or slipping to the side, always do as follows.
When traveling on slopes, keep the blade 20 to 30 cm
(8 to 12 in) above the ground. In case of emergency,
quickly lower the blade to the ground to help the
machine to stop.
Apply the brake and use engine as a brake, if neces-
sary.
Always travel straight up or down a slope. Traveling
at an angle or across the slope is extremely danger-
ous.
Do not turn on slopes or travel across slopes. Always
go down to a flat place to change the position of the
machine, then travel on to the slope again.
Travel on grass, fallen leaves, or wet steel plates with low speed. Even with slight slopes there is
a hazard that the machine may slip.
Do not shift the gear while traveling downhill or travel downhill with the transmission in neutral.
If this is neglected, the engine does not work as a brake, and that is dangerous. Be sure to set the
transmission in one of the lower speeds.
USING BRAKES
When the machine is traveling, do not rest your foot on the brake pedal. If you travel with your foot
resting on the pedal, the brake will always be applied, and this will cause the brakes to overheat and
fail.
Do not depress the brake pedal repeatedly if not necessary. If this is neglected, the brake will be
overheated and will not work when required.
When traveling downhill, use the braking force of the engine. If necessary, use the brake pedal at
the same time.
1-17
7. PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION SAFETY
PARKING MACHINE
Park the machine on level ground where there is no
danger of falling rocks or landslides, or of flooding if
the land is low,and lower the work equipment to the
ground.
If it is necessary to park the machine on a slope, set
blocks under the tracks to prevent the machine from
moving, then dig the work equipment into the ground.
After stopping the engine, operate the blade control
lever several times to the RAISE and LOWER posi-
tions to release the remaining pressure in the hy-
draulic circuit.
When parking on public roads, provide fences, signs, flags, or lights, and put up any other necessary
signs to ensure that passing traffic can see the machine clearly, and park the machine so that the
machine, flags, and fences do not obstruct traffic.
Parking procedure: See 12.13 PARKING MACHINE.
When leaving the machine, set the safety lock lever to the LOCK position, stop the engine, and use
the key to lock all the equipment. Always remove the key and take it with you.

11. EXPLANATION OF COMPONENTS
REMARK
If the vents at the front of the dashboard are turned so that cold
air plays directly on the front glass, moisture may condense on the
outside of the glass and reduce the visibility. (This occurs particu-
larly in high temperatures.)
If this happens, adjust the vent so that the air does not play
directly on to the glass.
REMARK
If the outside temperature is low and the compressor is suddenly
run at high speed, it may cause failure of the compressor. The
compressor is set so that if the outside temperature is below 2
6.5C, it will not run even if the cooler switch is turned ON.
2-26
11. EXPLANATION OF COMPONENTS
REMARK
The replacement interval may become shorter depending on the
condition of use.

REMARKS
When inserting the tool, if the work equipment or any other part
is in the way, change the position of bolt 5 to extend the tool
when using it.
If the fan is used in the suction direction in temperature below
30C, it has the effect of heating or maintaining the battery
temperature.
Use part number 175-900-3910 for the tool.
If winter fuel is not available, to prevent clogging of the fuel due
to precipitation of the paraffin, we recommend use of the fan in
the suction position at temperatures below 15C.

17. GUIDES TO MAINTENANCE
Do not carry out any inspection and maintenance operation that is not given in this manual.
Oil change:
Check or change oils in the places where dust is scarce to keep foreign materials away from oils.
Warning tag:
Attach the warning tag to the starting switch or other appropriate control lever to avoid someone who
is not aware of the circumstances from starting the engine.
Obey precautions:
During the operation, always obey the precautions on the safety label stuck to the machine.
3-2
17. GUIDES TO MAINTENANCE
Welding instructions:
Turn off the engine starting switch.
Do not apply more than 200 V continuously.
Connect grounding the cable within 1 m from the area to be welded.
Avoid seals or bearings from being between the area to be welded and the position of grounding
point.
Fire prevention:
Use nonflammable cleaner or light oil for cleaning parts. Keep flame or cigarette light away from light
oil.
Clamp faces:
When O-rings or gaskets are removed, clean the clamp faces and replace the O-rings and gaskets with
new ones. Be sure to fit O-rings and gaskets when assembling.
Checking undercarriage:
When working in rocky areas, check for damage to the undercarriage and for looseness, flaws, wear and
damage in bolts and nuts. Loosen the track tension a little when working in such areas.
Cleaning machine:
Do not direct a high-pressure jet directly at the radiator.
Do not splash water over the electrical equipment.
Never spray steam or water directly at the radiator or oil cooler portions.
Controller:
The machine monitor controller may malfunction if affected by electrical interference from an outside
source, so when installing any radio system to the machine, please contact your Komatsu distributor for
advice.
Dusty worksites:
When working at dusty worksites, do as follows:
Check the air cleaner for clogging more frequently. Clean the air cleaner at shorter intervals than
specified.
Clean the radiator core frequently to avoid clogging.
Clean and replace the fuel filter frequently.
Clean electrical components, especially the starting motor and alternator, to avoid accumulation of
dust.
3-3
17. GUIDES TO MAINTENANCE
Bleeding air:
After changing the oil, or replacing or cleaning the filter element or strainer, bleed the air from inside
the circuit.
If the oil in the hydraulic tank has been changed, or the element replaced, or the hydraulic cylinders or
work equipment piping have been removed, run the engine at low idling after completion of the
operation to bleed the air as follows.
1. Operate each cylinder 4 5 times to a point approx. 100 mm before the end of its stroke.
If, at first, the engine is run at high speed or the cylinder is operated to the end of its stroke, the air inside
the cylinder may cause damage to the piston packing or other parts.

18. OUTLINES OF SERVICE
18.1.2 FUEL
The fuel pump is a precision instrument, and if fuel containing water or dirt is used, it cannot work
properly.
Be extremely careful not to let impurities get in when storing or adding fuel.
Always use the fuel specified in the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Fuel may congeal depending on the temperature when it is used (particularly in low temperature
below 15C), so it is necessary to change to a fuel that matches the temperature.
To prevent the moisture in the air from condensing and forming water inside the fuel tank, always
fill the fuel tank after completing the days work.
Before starting the engine, or when 10 minutes have passed after adding fuel, drain the sediment
and water from the fuel tank.
If the engine runs out of fuel, or if the filters have been replaced, it is necessary to bleed the air from
the circuit.
18.1.3 COOLANT
River water contains large amounts of calcium and other impurities, so if it is used, scale will stick
to the engine and radiator, and this will cause defective heat exchange and overheating.
Do not use water that is not suitable for drinking.
When using anti-freeze, always observe the precautions given in the Operation and Maintenance
Manual.
Komatsu machines are supplied with Komatsu original anti-freeze in the coolant when the machine
is shipped.
This anti-freeze is effective in preventing corrosion of the cooling system.
The anti-freeze can be used continuously for two years or 4000 hours. Therefore, it can be used as
it is even in hot areas.
Anti-freeze is inflammable, so be extremely careful not to expose it to flame or fire.
The proportion of anti-freeze to water differs according to the ambient temperature.
For details of the mixing proportions, see 24.2.1 CLEAN INSIDE OF COOLING SYSTEM.
If the engine overheats, wait for the engine to cool before adding coolant.
If the coolant level is low, it will cause overheating and will also cause problems with corrosion from
the air in the coolant.

18. OUTLINES OF SERVICE
18.1.4 GREASE
WARNING
Do not carry out greasing when the engine is running.
18.1.6 FILTERS
Filters are extremely important safety parts. They prevent impurities in the fuel and air circuits from
entering important equipment and causing problems.
Replace all filters periodically. For details, see the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
However, when working in severe conditions, it is necessary to consider replacing the filters at
shorter intervals according to the oil and fuel (sulfur content) being used.
Never try to clean the filters (cartridge type) and use them again. Always replace with new filters.
When replacing oil filters, check if any metal particles are stuck to the old filter. If any metal particles
are found, please contact your Komatsu distributor.
Do not open packs of spare filters until just before they are to be used.
Always use Komatsu genuine filters.

22. PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF SAFETY CRITICAL PARTS
To ensure safety at all times when operating or driving the machine, the user of the machine must
always carry out periodic maintenance. In addition, to further improve safety, the user should also carry
out periodic replacement of the parts given in the table. These parts are particularly closely connected
to safety and fire prevention.
With these parts, the material changes as time passed, or they easily wear or deteriorate. However,
it is difficult to judge the condition of the parts simply by periodic maintenance, so they should always
be replaced after a fixed time has passed, regardless of their condition. This is necessary to ensure that
they always maintain their function completely.
However, if these parts show any abnormality before the replacement interval has passed, they
should be repaired or replaced immediately.
If the hose clamps show any deterioration, such as deformation or cracking, replace the clamps at
the same as the hoses.
When replacing the hoses, always replace the O-rings, gaskets, and other such parts at the same
time.
Ask your Komatsu distributor to replace the critical parts.

indicator 1, clean the air cleaner element.
NOTICE
Do not clean the air cleaner element until the air cleaner
clogging monitor on the monitor panel flashes.
If the element is cleaned frequently before the clogging monitor
flashes, the air cleaner will not be able to display its performance
fully, and the cleaning efficiency will also go down.
In addition, during the cleaning operation, more dirt stuck to the
element will fall inside the inner element.
3. Direct dry compressed air (less then 700 kPa (7 kg/cm2, 100 psi))
to the element from inside along its folds, then direct it from
outside along its folds and again from inside.
1) Remove one seal from the outer element. The number of
times the outer element has been cleaned can be seen by the
number of removed seals.
2) Replace the outer element which has been cleaned 6 times
repeatedly or used throughout a year. Replace the inner
element at the same time.
3) Replace the element when the air cleaner clogged warning
lamp lights up soon after installing the cleaned element even
though it has not been cleaned 6 times.
4) Check inner element mounting nuts for looseness and, if
necessary, retighten.
5) Replace seal washer 4 or wing nut 2 with new parts if they
are broken.
NOTICE
If small holes or thinner parts are found on the element when

WARNING
Do not use the battery if the battery electrolyte level is below the LOWER LEVEL line. This will
accelerate deterioration of theinside of the battery and reduce the service life of the battery. In
addition, it may also cause an explosion.
The battery generates flammable gas and there is danger of explosion, so do not bring fire or
sparks near the battery.
Battery electrolyte is dangerous. If it gets in your eyes or on your skin, wash it off with a large
amount of water and consult a doctor.
When adding distilled water to the battery, do not allow the battery electrolyte to go above the
UPPER LEVEL line. If the electrolyte level is too high, it may leak and cause damage to the paint
surface or corrode other parts.
NOTICE
When adding distilled water in cold weather, add it before starting operations in the morning to prevent
the electrolyte from freezing.
Inspect the battery electrolyte level at least once a month and follow the basic safety procedures
given below.
Open cover 1 at the left side of the machine. The batteries are
installed at A part.
